Contactless Payment Points Could Be Made Compulsory In All UK Shops

British retailers will have to offer contactless payment within the next five years

All British retailers will have to offer the tap-and-go system by the year 2020, a move that will likely see the end of £5 minimum spend rules.

Shops will continue to accept regular card payments but under new rules introduced by Visa and Mastercard it will become compulsory for shopkeepers to provide a contactless payment method within the next five years.
